Q Brothers, the award-winning hip hop theater collective, has released its first kids’ album, and a local youth from the Edgewater neighborhood designed the album cover.
, the Q Brothers debut album for kids, is now available for download ($7.99) on and other streaming platforms.
Plus, additional collaborators on the Q Brothers’ debut kids record are kids themselves: namely, Griffin Kubik, 7, of the Edgewater neighborhood on the far North Side, whose album cover design bested some 300 online contest submissions for the honor, and Roman Berkowitz, 12, of West Town, who shot the album’s music video for the song “Avocados.”
And while Griffin is interested in several creative activities, he was pleased to learn that he had been chosen by the Q Brothers Collective for his album design.
The other Q Brother founding member, GQ, talked about what he perceives as the ease with which Griffin created the album cover.
